UPDATE: No fatalities reported after two vehicles go through McDonald's wall

Police said no fatalities had been reported late Tuesday after a tractor-trailer crashed through the west side of the McDonald’s on Amarillo Boulevard at Pierce Street.

Sgt. Brent Barbee said police did not know how many people had been injured or whether anybody had sustained life-threatening injuries.

He said the tractor-trailer, which was hauling hay, was southbound on Peirce Street when it hit a white sedan heading east on Amarillo Boulevard.

The truck went on to smash through the exterior wall of the McDonald’s. The truck was inside the restaurant near the back toward the drive-thru, while the trailer ended up on its side in the parking lot.

Barbee said another vehicle ended up inside the McDonald’s, though he wasn’t sure how it got there. There was a female driving that vehicle, but Barbee was unsure if she was injured and to what possible extent.

The truck driver was still being removed from his cab late Tuesday, Barbee said. The sedan it struck before hitting McDonald’s had three people inside, he said, at least two of whom were taken to a local hospital with injuries unknown late Tuesday.
